I think it would be easier to say what gases ARE noble gases. The six noble gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. Any other elements are not Noble gases. This can include elements like Gold, Mercury, Calcium, Potassium, and barium.
No, gold is not a noble gas. Gold is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Au and atomic number 79. Noble gases are a group of elements on the periodic table characterized by their stable, unreactive properties.
Uranium. Also fluorine, lead, any of the noble gases, all the lanthanides, gold, silver, copper...
The grup 8 elemnts are quite unreactive- the term noble was I think coined for gold and other unreactive metals- and the adjective got re-used- they were once called the inert gases- but this is no longer true as unstable reactive compounds have been made for Argon and the heavier members of the group.
As far as "inert gases" (noble gases), the heaviest is the radioactive gas radon (atomic number 86, only natural isotope 222Ra).Referring to "inert" precious metals, the heaviest is gold (atomic number 79). Precious metals are not non-reactive and may either oxidize or dissolve in acids.

Noble metals have chemical similarity to noble gases, so they are resistant. Gold and platinum are the hardest to oxidize, by the highest potentials in electromotive series
The noble gases, gold and platinum.
The shorthand electron configuration for gold (Au) is [Xe] 4f^14 5d^10 6s^1. This notation represents the electron configuration of gold based on the noble gas before it, xenon.
Au - the 79th element (has 79 protons)
No, gold is not a noble gas. Gold is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Au and atomic number 79. Noble gases are a group of elements on the periodic table characterized by their stable, unreactive properties.
Noble gases are the group of elements that are very stable and nonreactive due to their full outer electron shells, which gives them little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons to form chemical bonds.

In mediaeval times metals like gold and platinum were called "noble metals" because they "were not subject to corruption", that is, they did not tarnish nor rust. When William Ramsay and co-workers discovered five group 18 elements at the end of the 19th century, they were known as the "inert gases" because they were unreactive, or as the "noble gases" by analogy with the very unreactive metals. After compounds of xenon were discovered in the 1960s, the former name dropped off, and since then they have been known as the "noble gases"
The noble gases generally exist in nature in monoatomic form. Some metals are unreactive enough to exist in nature as pure "nuggets" of metal; gold is probably the most notable, but there are places where one can find nuggets of (nearly) pure copper as well.

its not a group but its called a compound. When two elements are combined it becomes a compound. Answer: Group 18, the noble or inert gasses, won't readily react/combine with other elements or if so with great difficulty. -Blue
